I was fast in love from the very start
Just why I couldn't say
But you came to me like dreams come true
And you blew the clouds away

It just proved too much for a couple hearts
Who had kind of lost their way

But it was paradise and I'd do it twice
If I had that card to play

HOW I LOVED YOU
OH I LOVED YOU
AND MY HEART CAN TELL YOU WHY
I LOVED YOU
I LOVED YOU
THOUGHT I'D LOVE YOU TILL I DIE

But we were like two foreign shores
With a span too great to cross
We were lost at sea, baby, you and me
And our little boat got tossed

A nightmare crawled out of this dream
We were shadowed by despair
You must've glimpsed dark futures in my eyes
I've never seen a girl so scared

You turned your back and you ran away
And you left me in your wake
And you transubstantiated us
Into a big mistake

BUT I LOVED YOU
YES I LOVED YOU
AND MY HEART CAN TELL YOU WHY
I LOVED YOU
I LOVED YOU
THOUGHT I'D LOVE YOU TILL I DIE

The mathematics of betrayal
Is a science and an art
The addition of abandonments
The subtraction of the heart

Don't come around me anymore
For you there is no cure
I dream about you every night
A force of nature

'CAUSE I LOVED YOU
OH I LOVED YOU
AND MY HEART CAN TELL YOU WHY
YES I LOVED YOU
OH I LOVED YOU
AND I'LL REMEMBER TILL I DIE

Affection is easy
But love is so hard
